Am I on the right board?

“If I just came in this year as a freshman, I don’t think I’d be that guy, because I wouldn’t have seen what Kemba did unless I watched it on TV,” Napier said. “Kemba taught me throughout the season, on and off the court … how his character was. He taught me to be a leader on and off the court, he put me in the right position.”
Throughout last season, Alex Oriakhi, the power forward from Lowell, Mass., who’s known Napier for years, constantly reminded him: “You don’t understand the position you’re in right now. You’re behind the best guard in the country. You’re learning from the best guard in the country.”
Said Napier on Tuesday: “I didn’t realize it until the other day, we were just talking, and (Oriakhi) said, ‘You know you learned from one of the best guards in the country.’ It just dawned on me, like, ‘Wow.’ If anything, I’ve got to go out there and show what Kemba showed me. If I don’t, that just shows I’m not a great listener at all.”
